Becky has been my hygienist for quite some time. She does a great job keeping me informed and painlessly cleaning my teeth. She ensures I'm current with x-rays and other preventive services. Visiting this office is like visiting an old friend.

Dental Bridges in Syracuse
What is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge uses teeth adjacent to a missing tooth as anchors to support a single multi tooth restoration, that once permanently cemented, “bridges” the gap. It is basically at least 3 crowns that are fused together into a single restoration and once cemented stays in the mouth. Since flossing in between the bridged teeth cannot be accomplished, flossing under the bridge must be part of the oral hygiene routing to keep the gum tissue healthy.
At Downtown Dental Syracuse, our bridges are fabricated using Cerec technology. The majority can be completed in one visit whereas some will require two visits.
